Incorrect or misleading information

At the bottom of the 1st section there is a statement about an Emmy: "In 2013, the Fab Four received an Emmy Award for their PBS special filmed in 2012.[4]"

If you go to the reference, you will see that in reality, the Fab Four did not win an Emmy. The award was for a production company that worked on the show.

Fixed. WWGB (talk) 23:46, 17 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Ed Sullivan

Why is there a reference to Ed Sullivan? There's no explanation in the article for his appearance nor even why he's represented by three individuals.

If, as I suspect, he's included because there is an Ed Sullivan impersonator introducing the band on some occasions, this should be noted somewhere in the article. But having the name there with no explanation is very strange.

Done. WWGB (talk) 23:46, 17 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

McNeil/Mendonca

The wheel warring over the founder's name is silly. Ron McNeil was born Ronald Mendonca. He is the older brother of Frank Mendonca, who portrayed Paul for a time. Their sibling status is confirmed in this podcast. Ron Mendonca/McNeil is the owner of the company that provides The Fab Four band [1]. Following Wikipedia convention, we should use the common stage name McNeil to describe the person in the article. WWGB (talk) 23:28, 17 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
